Apr 27 Tribeca Film Festival 2016 After Parties

For the past two weeks, the Tribeca Film Festival has dominated downtown New York with screenings, talks, and premieres. The only thing as spectacular as the amazing movies that premiered were the extravagant after parties. After every movie premiere, the amusement part of the night began when movie stars, influencers, and models scattered all over New York City for post-premiere celebrations.

This year, some of the most prominent places in New York played host for society's elite to sip on champagne, catch up with their other famous friends, and dance the night away. These parties were unexpectedly intimate, with the invitation lists including mainly the people who worked on the movie, family, and close friends of the cast and crew. Only a few lucky people were able to walk past the bouncers, behind the velvet ropes, and into all of the posh, star-studded parties of TFF 2016.

Each and every one of these parties were extraordinary- the people were beautiful, the drinks never stopped flowing, and the food was delectable. It's been a hectic but amazing festival. I was practically running on 3 hours of sleep every night but it was all worth it. At the end of the day, isn't that the point of the TriBeCa Film Festival? To be in the same room and even potentially have a few drinks with some of the people that you admired but only see on screens.
